Yesterday I watched a documentary from Discovery Channel, it's about moving a giant whale shark from Taiwan to Atlanta, USA. How do you move such a big fish to such a far away place within a day? The answer is obvious, it's by plane.But moving a whale shark is not as easy as you take the airplane from Hong Kong to USA. You must keep it in a water tank, you must make sure it has enough oxygen in water to breath and make sure the water will not get too dirty that it kills the whale shark at the end of the journey.
The two whale sharks were caught by Taiwanese fishermen and, by the courtesy of the Taiwan Government, they could be transferred to Georgia Aquarium, the biggest aquarium in the world and live happily there after.
Whale shark is the biggest fish in the world. It can grow up to 45 feet long! It's an endangered species, so we must keep the ocean clean to save this beautiful animal!

Hi Hilton,
I see the sharks in Ocean Park, too! They all look so furious >.<
That's why I prefer dolphins and whales.

Dear Miss Nickie,
Very interesting. Why wouldn’t water leak out of the plane while the plane is flying? I’ve also seen the shark in Ocean Park like Hilton had. Weren’t the shark in Georgia Aquarium?

Dear all,
Well, the reason why there's no water leakage is that the big whale shark was kept in a container cargo, of course, it's not a good water tank, so food and oxygen is scarce, and transfer must be done very quickly. Georgia Aquarium is at Alanta City, USA, it is the biggest aquarium in the world and it has the most whale sharks there.
The aquarium in our Ocean Park is not big enough, but we can still find lots of beautiful fish there. I always love looking at the fish because it makes me feel like being in the ocean.
